Secondary gamma radiation from neutral particle beams

Guy A. Letteer, John A. Jungerman, Carlos M. Castaneda, "Secondary gamma radiation from neutral particle beams," Science & Global Security, 2, no. 2-3, (1991): 199-208.
The results of a proton-induced gamma-ray emission experiment are presented. Such data can be used to simulate the effects of a neutral particle beam within the context of proposed midcourse-phase target discrimination schemes. A summary of the calculations is presented in order to support the general conclusion that the physical limitations on such a system are prohibitive.
